Sense and Sensibility at PlayMakers Repertory Company

BY KATE HAMILL

based on the novel by Jane Austen

DIRECTED BY TAIBI MAGAR

A GOSSIP-DRIVEN COMEDY OF REASON AND ROMANCE

Playwright Kate Hamill gives us a fresh, comic take on Jane Austen’s beloved novel. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, this eminently theatrical adaptation follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable.
